Selections from the LGBT Center of Central PA History Project
Dickinson will host an opening reception to celebrate “History Comes Out,” an exhibition of artifacts and archival documents from the LGBT Center of Central PA History Project, on Sunday, Oct. 9, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., on the Waidner-Spahr Library’s main level.
The LGBT Center of Central PA in Harrisburg and the Dickinson Archives & Special Collections are collaborating to collect original documents that depict stories of LGBT history in central Pennsylvania, as told by those who lived them. The documents include written accounts, video interviews, photographs and artifacts that illustrate and support those stories. The exhibit, which runs from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, highlights recent donations to the project.
Exhibit hours are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
